What is another word for cataract surgery?
Pronunciation: [kˈatɐɹˌakt sˈɜːd͡ʒəɹi] (IPA) 
Cataract surgery is a medical procedure that is performed to remove cloudiness or opacification of the lens of the eye. This condition is commonly associated with aging and can lead to vision loss if left untreated. There are several synonyms for cataract surgery, including phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation, and extracapsular cataract surgery. Phacoemulsification is a technique that involves using high-frequency sound waves to break up the lens, which is then removed through a small incision. Intraocular lens implantation involves replacing the lens with a synthetic one after removal, while extracapsular cataract surgery involves removing the lens while leaving the supporting capsule intact. These are all effective methods for treating cataracts and restoring vision.
